Package: libtext-aspell-perl
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Using this package in a threaded environment causes segfault
the offending code is:
if ( self->speller )
delete_aspell_speller(self->speller);
safefree( (char*)self );
safefree crashes probably because of multiple threads using same object
perl offers a way to avoid this problem
the fix, at least for segfault is adding
sub CLONE_SKIP { 1 };
before
bootstrap Text::Aspell $VERSION;
in Aspell.pm
this solved the segfault for me but I don't use perl and mod perl
(a friend asked me for help because of the segfault)
so some tests are needed to check if there are no side
effects
Regards
